Location

On the stretch of Atlantic coast that is sometimes referred to as the Seven Bays, Constantine is a beautiful beach, with its wide bay facing west, open to the big waves making it popular with surfers. Trevose Head rises to the north and is a popular stretch of the South West Coast Path, while the championship Trevose Golf and Country Club is a challenging course.

The village has its own convenience store and there are more shops, a church, a primary school and two pubs at nearby St Merryn. A little further is Padstow, well known as a historic fishing port and home to top class restaurants. Everyday amenities can also be found there, such as a supermarket and plenty of watersports and leisure activities including cycle hire for the Camel Trail.

Description

Lowlands has the welcoming, cheerful atmosphere of a seaside house that has hosted many family gatherings and holidays.

Neatly maintained with white rendered walls and recently replaced double glazed windows, the house sits in a large garden, easily accessed from the lane, but hardly overlooked.

Entry is through the rear door into the utility room with a wet room adjacent and plenty of space for rinsing and drying wetsuits and swimming gear. Just inside the hall is a guest WC.

Three interconnecting reception rooms overlook the front, with patio doors opening to the garden from the central sitting room.

Generously proportioned rooms with wide windows, pale décor and a fine oak floor create a light and airy interior. The double aspect kitchen opens out to the garden and barbecue patio. With fitted cupboards, appliances and an Aga, the kitchen is light, practical and homely.

An inner hall leads to a large double aspect bedroom and a bunk bedroom, both with fitted hand basins.

Upstairs are three large bedrooms, the first being a naturally bright south facing room with additional Velux skylights and extensive under eaves storage.

The two front facing bedrooms have good views of the sea, the Quies and Trevose Head. Being double aspect and with wide dormer windows, these are large, light rooms also with plenty of storage space and with hand basins. There is the convenience of a family bathroom and a separate shower room on this floor.

As well as the gated front entrance and large gravelled parking area, a pedestrian gate opens from the lane that runs behind the house.

A garage that is currently a garden store is just inside the gate. On this side of the house is the paved patio with steps up to the kitchen door.

The most impressive feature of this property could be the very large garden: a great expanse of lawn, especially as the hedges and mature shrubs provide security and privacy.

The property benefits from planning permission (application number PA20/00820) for a dwelling with an entrance hall, 4 double en suite bedrooms with the principal suite having a walk-in wardrobe and utility room on the ground floor. The first floor has a large open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room, set on the first floor with large balcony.
